Hiring a live watercolor artist adds a touch of poetry and sophistication to any celebration — whether it’s a wedding, corporate event, or private soirée. If you’ve ever wondered how the process works, here’s a simple step-by-step guide to help you understand what to expect when you book me for your event.
1. Book in advance
It’s best to secure your date a few months ahead—especially during busy seasons like summer or Christmas. These periods fill up quickly, so early booking ensures I can reserve your event and prepare any custom details in advance.
2. Guest count and timing
Even though live watercolor illustration looks calm and effortless, it’s always very popular once guests see the results! Typically, I can paint about 8 individual or 4 couple portraits per hour. For a 6-hour event, that’s around 50 guests who can be illustrated. If, during the event, you wish to extend my presence, additional hours can be added on site.
If you expect more attendees, I offer additional portraits which I can paint from reference photos after the event at an affordable rate. For larger events, I can also invite other professional artist friends to join me, ensuring everyone receives their personalized keepsake.
